We ended up doing quads due to weather but after speaking to the instructors at the centre this seemed the better option as they explained snowmobiles are significantly harder to drive and there’s a lot of stopping because of this. They provided all protective footwear including wellies. We also went to an alternate thermal baths due to renovations, but I have to say this baths was amazing they had multiple smaller pools and it was relatively quiet. If you are thinking of booking I’d definitely recommend!”
